GMT allows users to manipulate (x,y,z) data, and generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, and/or shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections.
Abstract
Version 31 of the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) has been released More than 6000 scientists worldwide are currently using this free, public domain collection of UNIX tools that contains programs serving a variety of research functions GMT allows users to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data, and generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, and/or shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections (see Wessel and Smith [1991] and Wessel and Smith [1995], for details) GMT has been installed under UNIX on most types of workstations and both IBM-compatible and Macintosh personal computers

Fine-scale ultralow-velocity zone structure from high-frequency seismic array data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Alice Springs Array in central Australia to investigate the presence of an ultralow-velocity zone (ULVZ) at the CMB.

Modeling long-term volcanic hazards through Bayesian inference: An example from the Tohoku volcanic arc, Japan

TL;DR: In this paper, the Tohoku volcanic arc is modeled using Bayesian inference in order to combine one or more sets of geophysical information to a priori assumptions of volcano spatiotemporal distributions yielding modified a posteriori probabilities.

Seismic velocity structure of the central Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand, from local earthquake tomography

TL;DR: A tomographic inversion of the arrival time data from local earthquakes was used in this article to derive the 3D distribution of P-wave velocity and the S-wave/Vp velocity ratio for the central Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) in New Zealand.

Structure and evolution of the eastern Gulf of Aden: insights from magnetic and gravity data (Encens-Sheba MD117 cruise)

TL;DR: In this paper, the conjugate margins asymmetry, confirmed the location of the ocean-continent transition (OCT) previously proposed by seismic data, and described its deep structure and segmentation.

Topographic asymmetry of the South Atlantic from global models of mantle flow and lithospheric stretching

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the origin of the topographic features in the present and over time since the Jurassic with a model of global mantle flow and lithospheric deformation, and predict the evolution of mantle temperature, continental crustal thickness, longwavelength dynamic topography, and isostatic topography.

Free software helps map and display data

TL;DR: The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is introduced, which is a free, public domain software package that can be used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time series, and gridded data sets and to display these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations.
